Project dependency diagram in Visio

Question

I'm looking for a tool that will generate an assembly/project dependency diagram in Visio (or as close as possible) to assist me with breaking up some of our system into more manageable trunks.

The ability to include/exclude non-project dependencies is a must (i.e. include/exclude System. assemblies).

Answer 1

Try ReSharper. (I'm not associated with the product or company, but it provides many nice features for dependency walking).

You can also try the Depends.exe with the SysInternal toolset - now from Microsoft.

Answer 2

Visio has the ability to reverse engineer UML from your solution. You can find more information here. It's not clear to me whether you can include the .Net assemblies, however -- since they are not really in your solution.
